The Khelafat Majlis politcal party plans to hold a rally at the Suhrawardy Udyan area of Dhaka on Dec. 28 as their 12th general assembly meeting. Although the exact timing of the event remains unknown, rallies typically occur between late morning and early afternoon. Participation will likely be in the hundreds.
Authorities will likely impose enhanced security measures around the Suhrawardy Udyan area and monitor the rally. Police will likely disperse any disruptive crowds.
